A haunting novel of love, betrayal and redemption, set in India, Russia, Italy and Australia. Vasu, a young Indian student of architecture, arrives in Moscow in the late 1960s. He falls in love with Anna, an archaeologist and an accomplished cellist, yet his romanticism about the Soviet Union clashes with her experience.

“… a very rich and intricate novel, deceptively measured on the surface, but harbouring immense emotional tension and passion…” (southasiabookblog)
